  • Hearing on the Report of the Chief Justice of Gibraltar
    [2009] UKPC 43 Privy Council No 0016 of 2009 HEARING ON THE REPORT OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF GIBRALTAR REFERRAL UNDER SECTION 4 OF THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE ACT 1833 before Lord Phillips Lord Hope Lord Rodger Lady Hale Lord Brown Lord Judge Lord Clarke ADVICE DELIVERED ON 12 November 2009 Heard on 15,16, 17, and 18 June 2009 Chief Justice of Gibraltar Governor of Gibraltar Michael Beloff QC Timothy Otty QC Paul Stanley (Instructed by Clifford (Instructed by Charles Chance LLP) Gomez & Co and Carter Ruck) Government of Gibraltar James Eadie QC (Instructed by R J M Garcia) LORD PHILLIPS : 1. The task of the Committee is to advise Her Majesty whether The Hon. Mr Justice Schofield, Chief Justice of Gibraltar, should be removed from office by reason of inability to discharge the functions of his office or for misbehaviour. The independence of the judiciary requires that a judge should never be removed without good cause and that the question of removal be determined by an appropriate independent and impartial tribunal. This principle applies with particular force where the judge in question is a Chief Justice. In this case the latter requirement has been abundantly satisfied both by the composition of the Tribunal that conducted the initial enquiry into the relevant facts and by the composition of this Committee. This is the advice of the majority of the Committee, namely, Lord Phillips, Lord Brown, Lord Judge and Lord Clarke. Security of tenure of judicial office under the Constitution 2. Gibraltar has two senior judges, the Chief Justice and a second Puisne Judge.

    COMMENTARY ON THE BANGALORE PRINCIPLES OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT THE JUDICIAL INTEGRITY GROUP March 2007 2 CONTENTS PREFACE … 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS … 7 DRAFTING HISTORY … 9 PREAMBLE … 19 Value 1: INDEPENDENCE … 35 Value 2: IMPARTIALITY … 53 Value 3: INTEGRITY … 73 Value 4: PROPRIETY … 79 Value 5: EQUALITY … 111 Value 6: COMPETENCE AND DILIGENCE … 119 IMPLEMENTATION … 131 DEFINITIONS … 133 Appendix: CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS … 135 SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY … 147 INDEX … 151 3 4 PREFACE A judiciary of undisputed integrity is the bedrock institution essential for ensuring compliance with democracy and the rule of law. Even when all other protections fail, it provides a bulwark to the public against any encroachments on its rights and freedoms under the law. These observations apply both domestically within the context of each nation State and globally, viewing the global judiciary as one great bastion of the rule of law throughout the world. Ensuring the integrity of the global judiciary is thus a task to which much energy, skill and experience must be devoted. This is precisely what the Judicial Group on Strengthening Judicial Integrity (The Judicial Integrity Group) has sought to do since it set out on this task in 2000. It commenced as an informal group of Chief Justices and Superior Court Judges from around the world who combined their experience and skill with a sense of dedication to this noble task. Since then, its work and achievements have grown to a point where they have made a significant impact on the global judicial scene. The principles tentatively worked out originally have received increasing acceptance over the past few years from the different sectors of the global judiciary and from international agencies interested in the integrity of the judicial process.
